Marathon racing
Over the years Poole Harbour Canoe Club has had success in several disciplines. The club is historically strong in endurance events like the yearly Devizes to Westminster 125-mile marathon. PHCC members compete most years and have completed the DW in most classes.
The club also competes in the national series of marathon races and hosts its own Poole Harbour race in the autmun.
To train for these events early morning distance paddling is required. The river Stour and Wareham quay are usual venues.
